Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B.

The Bills bet big and early on Tanor Bortolini, 26 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 60th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 28, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
A slide stopped in pick No. 134, with James Williams worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 144 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at slot 163, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
